About Marielle Claire Balogh

I help women and underrepresented founders grow their small businesses into profitable companies through meaningful brand building that connects with their customers. As Chief Creative Officer and Founder of Tributary, I\'m finally able to bring my lifetime love of visual storytelling into my work. Every day I get to champion innovative creators, underrepresented founders, small businesses and big brands who all share my (and Tributary’s) values of sustainability, inclusivity, and collaboration. At Tributary, we’ve custom tailored our offers to better serve our clients after years of troubleshooting internal and external processes to provide the best client experience. I’ve built and trained an incredibly talented team and maintained a network of creatives that my clients can use as a resource whenever they work with us. Nothing brings me greater professional fulfillment than seeing a client reach their business goals after going through a rebrand with Tributary.
